Re: Decreasing radio reception

Your antenna, if it is a F Series or an E Series model, will share pathways with the demist heater and be located in the rear windscreen. You can remove the plastic cover from the roof lining on the saloon, which is located just behind the high-level brake light. The DAB/FM amplifier is located in t...

Re: Buying goods from abroad

Imports run the risk of having their engines limited. A friend of mine got a 110 mph-limited Subaru Impreza from Japan. Maps make it easy to lift. Also, the speedo readout was in kilometres per hour. In comparison to cars in the UK of the same age and mileage, they tend to be in better shape. We con...

Re: Help with Haldex, please.

Following the gearbox and haldex service on my 2012 Evoque, I experienced some problems.After updating the software, the issue was resolved. It was taken in for servicing, but then it started acting up again. Even now, the car is still running pretty hot.
Success in finding a solution!

Re: Looking at these brakes, what are your thoughts on them?

It seems like the rotors could use a little adjusting.

Re: Insurance, huh?

I finally got it: reporting our Mx5's actual mileage—up to 3,000 miles per year—was just asking for trouble.

Re: How soon is the PPF due?

I did the same thing a few weeks ago; the obd reader said stage 3, so I regenerated it at that point instead of waiting for the warning to activate, even though I'm not sure if it's easier to regenerate at that point; I've heard that the onboard computer may adjust the fuel supply or engine timing t...

Re: covering the cost of autostart

It will take your fingernails to grasp that tab because it is so small. and every time I try to open it, I smash the buttons. Very unimpressed.

Re: covering the cost of autostart

I'm uncertain about whether I will still own my CX70 when the three-year time ends. Personally, I don't think I would pay to be able to start my own car. But, I was able to avoid removing the micro key from the fob and opening the car when the battery expired by using the Mazda app. Since the new fo...
